This week’s Sunday Sumerian is kalag, which means to be mighty.
Lots of languages have verbs that kind of act like adjectives. English only really has one: suck, which means, to be bad, as in the expression, “This sucks.” But Sumerian had lots of them. Kalag is just one of them.
To turn an adjectival verb into an adjective, you add -a to the end of it.
So if you want to say “mighty man,” it will be nitah kalaga, not
nitah kalag. Nitah kalag would mean something like “man to be mighty.”“Mighty woman” would be munus kalaga.
